L'Oréal Paris
Men Expert Hydra Energetic Recharging Tissue Mask
€2.95
Sold on taurine, which is actually seventeenth of twenty-one - the ingredient doing the visible work is peppermint extract in fourth place, which is where the cooling hit comes from. Underneath it is a conventional humectant sheet: propanediol and glycerin second and third, sodium hyaluronate tenth. The sheet is cut oversized to clear a jawline and stubble.
What stands out in the list
Worked out from the ingredients, not the packaging claims.
Contains fragrance
Listed as Parfum/Fragrance, which can stand for dozens of undisclosed aroma chemicals. Fragrance is one of the most common causes of cosmetic contact allergy.
Cooling agents
Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Leaf Extract produce a tingle that reads as "working", but they can irritate compromised skin.
1 concentration-capped ingredient
EU law sets a maximum for Potassium Hydroxide. Products on sale in the EU must comply.
No drying alcohol
No ethanol, alcohol denat. or isopropyl alcohol in the list. Fatty alcohols such as cetearyl alcohol are not drying and do not count.
Nothing flagged for pregnancy
No ingredient on this list is one our encyclopaedia marks as avoided or used with caution in pregnancy. That is not the same as a clearance, so check with your midwife or doctor.
